“New Light” isn’t just a concept of Watch Tower/ Jehovah’s Witnesses. It is a crucial concept to Seventh Day Adventists.

Changes made by other religions are cited as evidence of their lack of divine guidance and reasons for losing faith in their leaders. Changes made by Watchtower are explained as reasons for building faith and trusting in divine guidance. Make it make sense.

How can you determine which one of these religions is the true one?

1/6 This Watchtower quote clearly defines "governors" (“chief men”) as those who “rule over” Jehovah's Witnesses and must be obeyed. This contrasts with the Governing Body's claim of merely "taking the lead.” -Watchtower, Feb 1, 1943

2/3 However… …the appendix of their Bible says Satan was hurled to earth “About 1914 CE”. If “about 1914” means 1915- WWI already started. Cause after effect. If “around 1914” means 1913- Jesus isn’t King yet, so he can’t have hurled Satan to earth yet.

Watchtower—Study Edition, November 2025 pg. 4 para. 7 "Perhaps you are saddened by the possibility that the end of this system will not come in your lifetime. If you feel that way, what can help? Try to remember that Jehovah is patiently waiting to bring an end to this wicked
